Marketing Services:
Please keep The RLA stocked in your materials:
1) Two 3'x5' outdoor flags of your institution as we generally need 2-3 per year.
2) A 1-page (up to size) 8 1/2"x11" information sheet on all your programs held at the RLA. This can be front and back.
3) 98" digital display as a replacement for all former signage at the North entry. Please ensure we have your content in the form of a 20- 30 second video spot advertising your programs at the RLA (not your institution in general). Questions and/or to send you content: Kristina Smith, Director of Business Development - 724-741-1025 or Kristina@theRLA.org.
4) We can post for you on social media including paid ads. If you have a program starting, an open house/information session, or if you just want to highlight your program, send the information to Kristina@theRLA.org and she will be happy to get this advertising up for you. It won't cost you anything as the RLA covers all paid ads we post on social media.
5) We update the Education Program Information page and have it professionally printed each term. If there are changes/updates or additions, email them to Kristina@theRLA.org and Zach@theRLA.org. Changes will be made at the time of the next printing.
6) We will set up a display table of your information by request. Please email Zach@theRLA.org
Important Dates:
April 1st is the deadline for Summer and Fall terms. November 1st is deadline for Winter/Spring terms.
We schedule in the order submitted. We do NOT guarantee your classes have the same classroom for each session. While we do our best to accommodate, if this is important to you please make this special request in the notes of each class submitted.
Our classrooms were built and created to be uniform so that students/faculty can be in virtually any classroom and have the same setup/technology.
Classes certainly may be submitted after the deadline and will be scheduled in any space we have available.
